Let Him Go

Chapter 24

-Troye POV-

I woke up with my head resting on Tyler's stomach and I turned my head to see him resting peacefully. He had one hand rested on his chest and the other placed next to my head. I let out a soft huff and moved to get up off the couch. As I sat up Tyler groaned and grabbed me to lay back down on him.

I laughed and tried to sit up but Tyler's strength plus my laughter made it extremely difficult. "Tillyyyyy come on. I'm hungry" I said trying my best to sound stern and serious

"There's food in the fridge, go get some" He said looking down at where my head was still rested on his stomach

"There was only fruit, hummus and beer Tyler that is not a breakfast" I said pouting my lip at him

Tyler raised his eyebrow suggestively and I opened my eyes wide in horror "TILLY YOUR GROSS" I yelled at him

"Relax Troyesivan I'll go make waffles don't worry your pretty little head" he said to me as he got up to walk to the kitchen

"Pancakes." I said firmly

"Um excuse me" he said turning to face me whilst furrowing his eyebrows in the most adorable fashion

"I. Said. Pancakes." I said to him pausing after each word "They are far better" I continued

"WHAT! Waffles, if you pour syrup on it, have little containers for all the syrup. pancakes...they get all soggy" He said to me

"Agree to disagree" I said to him firmly

"Okay well you're wrong" He said to me with a smirk

"Its easy to spread Nutella on pancakes, on waffles the compartments get in the way of the chocolate hazelnut goodness" I said to him while I made my way into the kitchen to watch him cook (A/N: I had to look up what Nutella actually was bc I don't like chocolate and I've never had Nutella before oops)

——

About an hour or so later Tyler and I sat infront of the camera to film the video for my channel. While we were eating our pancakes (yup I won that battle) Korey had come over to Tyler's apartment and joined us. I quickly made up a video idea and asked Korey to write down some hit from 2015 on paper for us to use.

It was hard to film because we were laughing most of the time, but eventually we finished filming the video and relaxed back onto the couch. I was judging a heated debate about who the queen of pop was: Katy Perry or Lady Gaga. When my phone rang and ConnieFrannie rolled across the screen

oh yeah guess I'm going to have to deal with this eventually

I excused my self from the room and answered the phone

"Troye boy!" he exclaimed

"Hi Con" I said lowly

"Are you still with Emma, I can't believe you got stuck there working on stuff" He said

"Um yeah, I'm heading out any minute I'll see you soon and we can go grab lunch" I said plainly

"Yeah a late lunch sounds perfect Tro" he said 

"okay bye Con" i said

"Bye Troye" he said as I hung up the phone

I said goodbye to Tyler and Korey a bit after that and called an uber to come take be back to Connor's apartment. Tyler gave me a tight hug and whispered in my ear to 'let him know what happens' and I told him that I would see him again after I talked to Connor. I knew that I was doing the right thing by talking to Connor before I did anything with Tyler...I already kissed him more than I should have.

——

I walked up to Connor's door and let myself in, surprised to see that he wasn't sitting on the couch or waiting for me to come home. I walked into the kitchen to see that, it too, was empty. I was shocked especially because I had just spoken to Connor moments ago. I was about to plop down on the couch and call him when I saw that the door to our...I mean his...bedroom was closed.

I knocked lightly and no one answered verbally but I was shocked to hear a light sniffle come from the other side of the door. I immediately opened the door and walked in looking in the darkness for Connor. I saw a lump on the bed and hear more sniffles coming from under the blanket.

"Con, Connor whats wrong are you okay" I said moving to sit next to him on the bed

He pulled the sheet down to revel his tear streaked face and puffy eyes "Cut the shit Troye" he snarled at me "I know that you weren't with Emma!"

I took my hand off his back "wha-what are you talking about" I said swallowing the lump in my throat

"After I got off the phone with you she came here looking for you! She wanted to know how things were going and what you decided to do with the song you wrote last week." He said angrily

"Connor I can explain, please let me explain" I said beginning to panic. But I was still at a loss for words, what was I going to tell him. I screwed up and he and I both knew it

"Save it Troye" he said softly

"Connor..." I said to him

"I know that you were at Tyler's Troye. I'm not an idiot but I'm also not mad. You love, or at least loved, me and then you moved on. Thats what people do and no I'm not over reacting. Once I figured that you were at Tyler's I went on twitter and tumblr...next time, watch were you kiss." he said in a defeated tone

"Connor I-I don't know. I don't know what I'm doing" I stuttered out trying not to cry

"Its okay Troye really. You fell out of love, that happens. This isn't us ending our friendship, this is just a mutual lull of our relationship and we will, with time, move past this. Too be honestly I saw this coming. And its not only your fault, I was pushy and controlling, I shouldn't have stopped you from seeing Tyler it was wrong of me" He said

"Connor you don't understand I'm just so torn I felt like everything was falling apart. You're both by best friends I-I didn't know what love felt like 6 months ago. I never meant to hurt anyone"

"You can't be truly in love with two people so go get him Troye boy don't let him go. This isn't us breaking up this is us moving forward as friends" he said grabbing my hand "Troye really I'm not mad, you're 20 years old, this was your first relationship everything is okay. I promise"

I pushed my self up off the bed and started to make my way out of the room. "You can still stay here if you'd like to Troye" he said

"No, no. Its alright I think I need some time to be alone and think" I said to him softly "I'll come back to get the rest of my things soon" I continued. I walked out of the room and grabbed my backpack with my computer and wallet in it. I walked into the closet and grabbed a few changes of clothes a mumbled a quick goodbye to Connor before I slipped out the door of his apartment.
